PioneerPet®
關於我們 關於我們的公司 如何開始。 。 。 在1990年代後期,貓行為主義者,貓愛好者和SmartCat®的創始人貝茜·利普斯科姆(Betsy Lipscomb)了解到人們將貓交到了庇護所,因為他們不知道如何改變不良行為。貓主人對貓用家具和地毯做自然的事情感到不滿-抓撓。大多數人認為退役是唯一的答案,但事實並非如此!對於貝齊來說,這是一個行動號召。她開設了國際貓熱線,這是一條免費的熱線電話,可以幫助人們解決貓的行為問題。多年來,Betsy接到了絕望的貓主人尋求解決方案的數千個電話。以了解有關貓行為問題的人道解決方案。
Betsy早些時候開始在威斯康星州的農場收集木柵欄。她用劍麻繩將它們包裹起來,然後將它們安裝在堅固的木質底座上。她製作這些帖子的唯一目的是將其發送給需要幫助其貓抓撓行為的寵物父母。人們驚訝地發現,撓性桿解決了他們的問題。這些帖子廣受歡迎,不久Betsy便每月手工賺多達50。 Betsy決定,她想成立一家公司,其唯一任務是通過滿足寵物的行為需求來提高寵物的生活質量。她特別想阻止寵物父母給貓脫殼,因為這是一個殘酷的過程。經過相當多的說服,她終於說服丈夫約翰製造了更大版本的她自己的便簽本。結果就是我們的旗艦產品The Ultimate Scratching Post。這樣就開始了SmartCat®。
剩下的就是歷史了。在2009年,我們公司擴展成為了Pioneer PetProducts®。我們這樣做是為了將我們的質量設計和構造擴展到更多的產品中。在2012年,我們收購了StickyPaws®品牌,這是一種觸覺膠帶,可以防止貓刮傷不適當的表面。 StickyPaws®通過幫助貓主人在不破壞貓的自然本能的情況下馴服家庭中的行為,使其與PioneerPet®品牌完美契合。 我們不再是農舍,而是使命和夢想成真。我們的三大品牌是寵物父母愛戴和信任的品牌。但是,我們的使命從未改變-提供卓越的產品來改善寵物及其監護人的生活質量。我們所有的產品都是由行為專家設計的,並在進入市場之前經過了全面的測試和認可。 貓國際 我們很榮幸能與Cats International合作。 Betsy知道行為問題是該國寵物的頭號殺手,因此開始了一項名為Cats International的免費行為諮詢服務。該站點是可靠,實用的解決方案資源,可用於解決和預防困難的行為和培訓問題。
ABOUT US
ABOUT OUR COMPANY
HOW IT ALL BEGAN . . .
In the late 1990s Betsy Lipscomb, a cat behaviorist, cat lover, and founder of SmartCat®, understood that people surrendered their cats to shelters because they didn’t know how to change undesirable behaviors. Cat owners were unhappy with their cats using furniture and carpets to do what came naturally to them–scratching. Most thought declawing was the only answer, but it is not! For Betsy, this was a call to action. She started Cats International, a free hotline to help people solve their cats’ behavior issues. For years Betsy fielded thousands of calls from desperate cat owners looking for solutions.
Early on Betsy began gathering wooden fence posts from her farm in Wisconsin. She wrapped them in sisal rope and mounted them on sturdy wood bases. Her sole purpose for making these posts was to send them to pet parents who needed help with their cats’ scratching behaviors. People were amazed to learn that the scratching post solved their problems. These posts became vastly popular and soon Betsy was making as many as 50 a month by hand.
Betsy decided that she wanted to start a company whose singular mission was to enhance our pets’ quality of life by providing for their behavioral needs. She especially wanted to deter pet parents from declawing their cats, as this is a cruel procedure. After considerable persuasion, she finally convinced her husband, John, to manufacture a larger version of her homemade scratching post. The result was our flagship product, The Ultimate Scratching Post. Thus SmartCat® began.
The rest is history. In 2009 our company branched out to become Pioneer Pet Products®. We did so to extend our quality designs and construction into a wider range of products. In 2012 we acquired the brand Sticky Paws®, a tactile tape that deters cats from scratching inappropriate surfaces. Sticky Paws® aligns perfectly with the Pioneer Pet® brand by helping cat owners to tame behaviors in the home without taking away cats’ natural instincts.
We are no longer a farmhouse operation, but a mission and dream come true. Our trio of brands is one that pet parents have come to love and trust. Our mission, however, has never changed–to provide superior products that will improve the quality of life for pets and their guardians. All of our products are designed by behavior experts, as well as thoroughly tested and approved before reaching the market.
Cats International
We are proud to be associated with Cats International. Knowing that behavioral problems are the number one killer of pets in this country, Betsy started a free behavior counseling service that is known as Cats International. The site is a reliable resource for intelligent and practical solutions in solving and preventing difficult behavior and training problems.
